American Idol winner Jordin Sparks, IDOL finalist Blake Lewis and
pop/rock band Lifehouse will perform live from Times Square on NEW
YEAR'S EVE LIVE Monday, Dec. 31 (11:00 PM-12:30 AM ET live; CT/MT/PT

exclusive U.S. TV premiere of pop superstar Mariah Carey's concert

Adventures of Mimi."

As previously announced, Cat Deeley will host the show from the
rooftop of Planet Hollywood, and TALKSHOW host Spike Feresten will
report from the heart of Times Square. Additional artists scheduled
to appear will be announced shortly.

Jordin Sparks, winner of Season 6 of AMERICAN IDOL, recently released
her self-titled debut album. Sparks will perform her new
single "Tattoo" for the first time ever in Times Square. At age 17,
Sparks graced the stage as the youngest AMERICAN IDOL winner and then
spent the following summer months crafting her eponymous debut.
Sparks notes the album benefits from a summer-long vocal workout
while on the road during the 56-city Pop Tarts American Idol Live!
tour.

Singer-songwriter Blake Lewis, finalist on the sixth season of
AMERICAN IDOL, recently released his debut album "Audio Day Dream."
Lewis, a 26-year-old Redmond, WA, native will perform his latest
single "Break Anotha" for the first time in Times Square.

Mariah Carey is the top-selling female artist in history with sales
of more than 160 million units worldwide. In 2006, she took her show
on the road for the first time in more than three years. Her new
DVD, "The Adventures of Mimi," features footage from her highly
successful tour, which was a grand celebration of her 15-year career.

Lifehouse, best known for multiple Top-40 hits and having sold over 5
million albums in the U.S., are singer-songwriter Jason Wade, drummer
Rick Woolstenhulme and bassist Bryce Soderberg. The band has been
climbing the charts since the release of their multi-platinum debut
album "No Name Face." The group's single "First Time" from their new
album "Who We Are" is a Top-40 hit with sales approaching 1 million.

NEW YEAR'S EVE LIVE from Times Square is produced by The Gurin
Company with Phil Gurin ("The Singing Bee," "Miss Universe," "Miss
USA," "Weakest Link," "Test the Nation") serving as executive
producer.
